Valentina at Tasting Italy organized our wedding ceremony at a private villa outside of Florence in September. The stressful process of planning our entire wedding from New York made me very much appreciate Valentina’s easy-going nature. She was efficient, informative, responsive and helpful; all traits I really want in someone I’m working with on such an important event. With Valentina’s guidance we chose Stefano as our officiant and we couldn’t have been happier. He was very sensitive to our thoughts on how we wanted the ceremony to unfold. He even allowed us to edit his sermon & readings to better fit us. He spoke English very well which I actually hadn’t considered early on, but ended up being very important to me. Valentina had us write the ‘story of us’ ahead of arriving in Italy. It was an amazing exercise for us as a couple, but it also gave Stefano lots of information about our relationship that he folded into his sermon. Valentina and Stefano met us a few days before the wedding to walk us through everything and assure us that our ceremony would be exactly as we wished. And it was! Our wedding was truly everything we hoped it would be. It was very personal and extremely tailored to suit us. Thank you Valentina for making that happen! In addition to being a service-oriented professional (something that is not so easy to find abroad), Valentina is warm and kind and I was glad to have her by my side on such an important day. She also gave us a wonderful gift after the wedding that I am truly appreciative for. Thanks so much!
